In this fabulously entertaining Carnival Day episode, Vision Australia Radio chats with the iconic Dolly Diamond, ahead of her appearance in She Slayed: A Drag Murder Mystery at Midsumma Festival 2026. Known for her razor‑sharp wit, comedic timing, and decades of festival involvement, Dolly brings her signature sparkle to this lively conversation.

Dolly shares stories from her many years performing at Midsumma, including memorable stage moments, the joy of connecting with festival audiences, and the importance of creating inclusive, accessible queer events. The interview dives into her latest show, She Slayed, exploring the fusion of drag, mystery, comedy, and camp theatricality that audiences can expect — plus who’s joining her on stage and what surprises she has in store.

Listeners will also get a glimpse into Dolly’s packed Carnival Day, including her live performance scheduled just 30 minutes after the interview — proving once again why she remains one of Midsumma’s most beloved and versatile performers.

Whether you're a long‑time Dolly fan or discovering her bold brand of drag chaos for the first time, this episode is filled with humour, heart, and a perfect dose of theatrical mischief.
